Payment and Reporting Requirements

What are the payment and reporting requirements?
Awardees will draw the Federal share of the awarded amount on a reimbursement basis no more than once each quarter. Costs that may be claimed are the actual payroll expenses incurred after deductions of any employment gaps of awarded positions.

Please note that the first payment request will not be allowed until 90 days after the period of performance start date (which is 90 days after the date of the award).

Awardees will provide periodic performance reports in conjunction with the quarterly payment requests to the Grants Program Office. Grantees that have a 5-year period of performance will have to submit a performance report at the midpoint of the fifth and final year of the grant (when no grant funds will be provided) and a final performance report at grant closeout.

All grantees will be required to produce a final closeout report on how the grant funding was used and what benefits were realized from the award. An accounting of the grant funds also must be included in the performance reports. All reports will be completed online via the e-grants system.
